New Space in Progress & Freckled Whimsy!

New Space in Progress & Freckled Whimsy!

 

Remember my sweet little sewing room?

This was my favorite space in the whole world.

Take note of the charm pack quilt along

from Freckled Whimsy.

This is an older picture,

cause that top is now sewn together.  LOL

 This is my sewing room now.

YIKES!

 

 Because I moved all the stuff 

from this space (below)

to my old sewing room,

cause I'm getting a new one!

YEEHAW!

 Don't let these picture fool you.

Our youngest son left for college last summer.

He's going 3 years all year round.

We had a talk because I wanted

to make sure he was OK with the switch.

(who am I kidding? I wanted to make sure I was OK)

It took me a long time for that conversation.

Cause he's my baby.

And I don't want to see him grow up.

You know what I mean.

I do, but I don't.

But I am so proud of him.

 So, my Mr. Neat Freak left me a mess when 

he moved out.

Yep...sure did.

I didn't touch anything until over the weekend.

And moved all that I could to my 'old' sewing room.

So I can work on my 'new' sewing room.

Now it's all cleaned out and ready

to become a new, creative space.

I could have had everything look all 

neat and tidy.

But then you wouldn't feel that sorry for me.

Because it wouldn't look like I had a lot

of work ahead of me.

LOL

I read the sign that's in my dining room

every time I walk by it.

Just to remind myself

I can handle this big task.

So I'll put my big girl panties on

and get my groove going.

Soon, I will have one 

kick-butt space.

And Justin will have a new room 

to snuggle in when he comes home 

to visit.

And I have to give a shout out to my

sweet mommy.

For the last 3 weeks, she has made

my family supper every Thursday.

And I'm not talking like a pizza

or something like that.

I'm talkin cheesey potatoes,

lasagna, meatballs,

round steak, potato salad,

green bean casserole

and dessert

dessert

dessert.

It is has all been DELISH!

Thank you, mom!!!

AND...you'll have to check out my Midwest Hottie's blog, KarrieLyne at

Freckled Whimsy

She featured one of the ideas

I learned from our last quilting retreat!

Oh Yeah

(Picture the Kool-Aid guy here)

She's the bomb!!

And I also have to give kudos to 

one of my other favorite's,

Melissa,
from 100billionstars.

More to come as my room progresses.
So keep checking back!
I also have some new recipes to share.
I'll have those up this weekend.
Please come back for a visit soon!

Latest Happenings

It's been a great week.

Tuesday night we went to take Justin

out for supper.  He's a broke college student you know.

It was really a great family night

and we are all so proud of him.

Next month when we go visit him

we're going to the Flying Wienie.

Yep.

You read that right.

I guess they have really good hot dogs.

Pictures will follow after that visit!

Fo sho!

So one of our Christmas gifts from Jesse & Catie

was a home cooked meal.

You just can't beat that!

It was amazing.

They did this for us last year too.

As a matter of fact,

the stuffed pepper recipe

in the recipe tab

is from Catie.

Only her's were WAY better.

She is an outstanding cook.

Jesse is one lucky fella!

Here are a few pictures of them 

preparing our meal, which was

Ham Balls
